My watermelon fried rice is worth this price!

  Young man asked unclearly: "Isn't your wine shop already open for business?"

  "Sorry!" Tang Lin said apologetically, but her personal dignity did not falter. "When you just arrived, our boss had already announced that we are closing down for a makeover. Of course, it's not because business is bad, but to renovate the appearance of the wine house and some internal affairs, so we need to close down for renovation and cannot operate normally, please forgive us!"

  "Well," because of his pride, the young man didn't want to mention what was on his mind, but Tang Lin's cooking had really caught his appetite. He hesitated for a moment before finally giving up his pride, "On the day we open, can I still have that watermelon fried rice?"

  Tang Lin raised a confident smile and replied straightforwardly, "Of course, as much as you want, as long as the customer can afford it!"

  When it came to the matter of money, the young man's face changed color and his hands unconsciously wanted to touch his pocket to see if he had any silver to give. Just now, he was really too hungry to enter the wine tower and order food, and he didn't even realize that he seemed to have no money for dinner.

  Afraid that the people in front of him would discover his movements and think he was eating a tyrant's meal, so the young man did not dare to properly touch his own pocket to see if there were any silver coins.

  Tang Lin's gaze was sharp, able to see through people's hearts, and could capture the unusualness of her prey in the first time. And she, lightly and easily, discovered the boy's unusualness.

  The boy looked embarrassed and hung his head down.

  Lu Baiwan was just about to suspect that the young man didn't have money when Tang Lin spoke up to help the young man out, "Sir, you don't need to pay for this meal. This is our trial product, it's meant to be free for customers to try. If you're satisfied, we'll put it on the menu when we open for business. If not, we'll just have to keep working on it!"

  The awkwardness on the young man's face dissipated, and he looked a bit embarrassed. "Satisfied, I'm very satisfied. You guys did an excellent job with this dish. Since we don't need to pay...I'll be off first?"

  "Please!" Tang Lin made a polite gesture of invitation.

  Having obtained Tang Lin's consent, the young man immediately got up, grinned foolishly at everyone, and hastily ran out of the inn, fearing that Tang Lin would suddenly change his mind and ask him for money again.

  Lu Baiwan looked at the empty watermelon on the table and frowned, "Another meal's worth of ingredients wasted!"

  Tang Lin pursed her lips and smiled, "Boss, if you can't bear to part with your children, you can't dress them up as wolves. Besides, the first dish has to be satisfying to the guests before it's presentable. If they taste the good and bad, do we have the nerve to charge them?"

  The old bald donkey pointed at the watermelon and said, "Little Tang lady, how much does this...watermelon fried rice cost?"

  Tang Lin thought for a moment and gave an answer, "Ten taels." From then on, the name of this dish was called Watermelon Fried Rice, with a table price of ten taels!

  Lu Baiwan's face changed, "This is too expensive, isn't it? It will scare away our guests!"

  Tang Lin said: "Boss, you're a businessman, you know the meaning of 'good goods are not cheap, and cheap goods are not good'. My watermelon fried rice is worth this price!"

  Xiao Pang looked at Lu Baiwan and asked with a scolded tone: "Boss, is our Juxian Building still open or not?"

  Lu Baiwan glared at him, "What did you say?"

  The old bald donkey raised his hand and looked at everyone, "Those who agree to continue, raise your hands!"

  With the example set, everyone else raised their hands, except for Lu Baiwan. When Tang Lin looked over at him, Lu Baiwan reluctantly raised his hand as well. "Alright, let's continue then. Little Tang, the hope of the wine house is now in your hands. If there's anything that needs to be solved with money, just come find me!"

  Tang Lin was overjoyed and immediately stood at attention, "Yes, boss! Little Tang will definitely complete the task entrusted by the boss without fail. The boss can rest assured that our Ju Xian Lou will surely defeat the opposing Feng Yue Lou!"
